"You’re the man.”
“No. Trust me. You are the man.”
So goes Vrooommm!: A NASComedy, the new gender-bending offering from Triad Stage directed by David Karl Lee, which opened Jan. 30 to a sold-out crowd.

When playwright Janet Allard took on the subject of women in American car racing in “Vrooommm!,” first produced in New York in the summer of 2007, Danica Patrick hadn’t happened to NASCAR yet.
